Neil Lennon is caught between a rock and a hard man. If he allows Scott Brown,
his captain, to continue the petulance and indiscipline of which he has been
guilty recently, he invites trouble. If he does not, the Celtic manager
risks curbing the passion and commitment that makes his most competitive
player tick.

At the club’s Lennoxtown training base yesterday, where Celtic were preparing
for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen, Lennon
performed the unusual trick of both defending and warning the formidable
midfielder, who has courted controversy at club and international level
lately.
